Masters of the Book, After the regular maintenance on 7/18, we observed a trend indicating that the difficulty of the Portrait of Thierry had unexpectedly increased. Upon thorough investigation, we confirmed that the resistance of the monsters in the Portrait of Thierry had increased compared to the previous week. This issue was not intentional. It happened because some data from our monster balance review was mistakenly included in the live version. We plan to adjust the difficulty back to its original level during the regular maintenance on 7/25. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We assure you that we will never change the game balance without informing our players first. To prevent this from happening again, we will carefully review the data included in future updates. As a token of our apology, we plan to provide our Masters of the Book with Mystical Chromatics x200 during the maintenance on 7/25. The exact distribution schedule will be shared in the maintenance notice. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this unexpected issue. Thank you for your understanding.
